About Me

In IT world, upgrading knowledge is always important part of the cycle.
IT guys subscribe to various courses to improve their knowledge and skills. As
an System Administrator I have a list of courses which I want to do or complete
but due to lack of time I am unable to enrol for courses on regular interval
and I don't want to go for online courses as I don't have that much faith on
it.

Recently, uCertify - a site which provides quality test prep kits for
global IT certifications have contacted me and asked if I can test their kits
and write a review. I have selected the course "CompTIA - Cloud Essentials(CLO-001)" for review as this course was in my list.

I was quite impressed with the uCertify home page as it provides all
required information about the courses which are available. It covers all the
necessary information which is required for any student/candidate to know
before enrolling to the site. Login into the system was easy but after login at
beginning I was a bit confuse about from where to start but soon it was a bit
easy to know.

According to me, following are some Positive and negative points of the
uCertify online portal:

Positive:

1.Multi-device: Days of sitting on one system and doing works are gone.
Everyone today is online and working from their mobiles, tablets etc. and
uCertify prep kit is compatible to work desktop systems as well as on Mobile
devices.

2.Pre-assessment Exam: This is one of the features I really liked. Before
starting the course you can take a pre-assessment exam which contains some
basis questions related to the course. This helps candidate to evaluate
themselves.

3.Notes and In Chapter exam: Course contents are divided in Chapters and
there are notes at the end of the chapter which explains the terms which are
used in the chapter. Also there are exam (set of 2 to 5 question) just to
revise what you have studied.

4.Quiz and Exercise: At the end of the chapter you have to give a quiz and
complete exercise to complete the chapter which is a nice way to revise all
what you have read and understood.

5.Test, Learn and Review modes: You can give the exam in test mode where
you will have to select answer and result will be declared at the end of the
test where as if you go to learn mode, you get the answer immediately as soon
as you select your answer. Learn mode not only tells you, if the options you
have selected are correct or incorrect but it gives an explanation for the
correct options.

Negative:

Online only: All the
courses/prep kit which is available with uCertify are online only and there are
no option for offline reading. I really wanted it to be offline so I can read
it via my mobile (which don’t have internet connection) while travelling.

Only Prep Kit:
uCertify provide Preparation kit only and don’t conduct exam, candidate have to
search the test centres and give exams there. If uCertify can take exams or tie
up with exam centres it will be easier for the students as they will have a
single contact point.

At the end, I would say uCertify have
took learning to a new level by providing prep kits for 200 to 300 courses
which will help IT professionals to learn the course they want to learn
whenever they have time.
